 PART II 



12. The use of 2.5 pounds of cottonseed meal per 1000 pounds 

 live weight of cattle, in a ration of shelled corn, cottonseed meal, 

 clover hay and corn silage made more rapid gains and effected a 

 higher finish on the cattle than where 1.25 pounds per 1000 pounds 

 live weight were consumed. 



13. With corn above 40 cents per bushel, the cost of gain 

 was less where the larger amount of cottonseed meal was fed with 

 shelled corn, clover hay, and corn silage. 



14. The ration of shelled corn, cottonseed meal, clover hay 

 and corn silage returned the largest profits where the cottonseed 

 meal was fed in the proportion of 2.5 pounds daily per 1000 pounds 

 live weight. 



15. The consumption of 2.5 pounds of cottonseed meal daily 

 per i ceo pounds live weight in a ration of shelled corn, cottonseed 

 meal and clover hay produced gains at a greater cost than when 

 half that amount of cottonseed meal was consumed. 



1 6. The consumption of the larger amount of cottonseed meal 

 where shelled corn, cottonseed meal and clover hay were fed pro- 

 duced a better finish on the cattle. 



17. The profit per steer was less in 1909-10 where 2.5 pounds 

 of cottonseed meal were consumed daily per 1000 pounds live 

 weight in connection with shelled corn and clover hay and in 1910- 

 n the profits were in favor of the larger amount of nitrogenous 

 concentrate. 



PART III 



18. The consumption of roughage by the heavy, fleshy feeders 

 was relatively less, and the consumption of grain relatively greater 

 than by lighter, thinner cattle. 



19. The short-fed cattle in the trials of 1909-10 made more 

 rapid gains than the long-fed cattle. 



20. The heavier and fleshier the cattle at the beginning of the 

 feeding period, the more expensive were the gains. 



21. Corn silage and clover hay proved efficient for carrying 

 heavy, fleshy feeders for the first part of the feeding period. 



22. Cattle in the trial of 1910-11, carried for 60 days on 

 clover hay and corn silage and then short-fed, made less gain and 

 returned a smaller profit than long-fed cattle.
